If you dont mind, can you explain why the min/max erase counts should not be too far apart and does this part means that my ssd got written way too much? Not sure what is going on but the past few months i have been filling this ssd to ~80% its capacity and its constantly doing garbage collection

I just read up some articles about this topic as my SSD dropped from ~75% health to 63% health in just 2 months (not like mine is any good), is there any explanation to the huge difference between Total Host Writes and Total NAND Writes? edit: moar pictures

I was looking for a decent laptop and I discovered Lenovo Legion 5 being a good deal for my preference and usage, and I found this on their official US site: It takes 3+ months to ship while I need to leave US at mid January which is not very viable, but the similar spec-ed system will cost about $280 more, which is out of my spending budget. (Picture below) Is there any hope on getting that cheaper system early? I am not a frequent buyer and not experienced with how Lenovo handle their custom laptop. Suggestions please?

I am "unfortunate" enough to get my university life stuck inside the COVID period, since the pandemic is slowly going away in my country (its probably fake data), and my mouse that stayed with me for 4 years died (Alcatroz actually lasted that long), I am considering two different logitech mouse. Logitech G304 LIGHTSPEED (wireless) vs G502 HERO (wired) After considering some rechargeable batteries, the price of G304 is about 30% more expensive than G502 I dont know anything about university life, therefore I am hesitating. Can anyone give a brief recommendation for an undergraduate engineering student? My usage should be going to school for about 3~8 hours, 4 days per week and some light gaming (CSGO, genshin impact) / tutoring (teaching on microsoft whiteboard).

I found one which is TP-Link Archer AX10, don't know it's good or not but I cost about $80. Review says that it deliver good speed with AX and I think it will future proof a little when AX devices start to become common. But I think I will mark this question as solved after this

So the solution is to just change it to a decent AC router? 300Mbps download and 100Mbps upload capped.

Wouldn't it improve anything? Like latency or something else? Or a decent AC router will perform same as the AX router? On the technical specification, "budget-ish" AX WiFi router has more and faster cores then same price AC WiFi router, will that impact performance? I have about 6~7 device connected almost 24/7 and max device connected on it will be about 10, in a 236,000 single storey house.

With the increasing usage of Zoom online class recently, my ISP included router just can't keep up with the demand of the bandwidth and keep crashing. Although I took off the shroud/cover of the router and add a fan blowing towards the router, the frequent crashing solved but occasion crash still exists. Yesterday I stumble on a cheap router and review says it's quite capable of handling heavy traffic, giving me low latency and high bandwidth Internet. Link below vvv https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax10/ Almost all device on the network uses WiFi 5 which isn't same as the router. Will it help to reduce the crashing or even solve the crashing and give me better internet experience? Or I should just get an even cheaper AC router to save more buck IDK which information about the device I am using currently I should include. Please tell me which I should include.

C drive is SSD while the rest is HDD Peak transfer speed is about 80~100MB/s No... there isnt any warning nor errors

I encountered a disk usage problem for D when I am copying files from D to E just now and Google search gives no clear solution for this situation. Task manager stated that ntoskrnl is using the disk frequently, is it the problem of setting my portable drive E: to high performance that it cache the file from D into C then move to E:? P.S. D and C refer to drive D and drive C, it keeps formatting to emoji

Is this same as this? https://comnet.lk/index.php/product/segotep-gp750g-gaming-psu-650w-80-plus-gold-black/ Found on a random website, just for the reference of what the product looks like.

It's free I picked it up somewhere, it's called reuse, turns out to be good for environment.

S.M.A.R.T. test? From where, what app? Fujitsu's HDD diag tools? Got it.

Recently I dropped one of my HDD (more like a slight bump to it, dropped from a chair to ground in an enclosure), and I have concern about it fail when I am using it. The drive is used for unimportant files and I just wanted to keep using it, anyone here can tell if this drive is failing? Here's the noise of the drive during sequential read/write using CrystalDiskMark and copying files: Voice 001 is the start up sound of the drive Voice 002 is the sound of 1.75GB video file written to the drive Voice 003 is the sound of 2.29GB random pictures (~220 pic) written to the drive Voice 004 is the sound of Random 4KiB Q32T16 read from the drive Pic shows the enclosure, no rubber pads or screws Voice 001_sd.m4a Voice 002_sd.m4a Voice 003_sd.m4a Voice 004_sd.m4a

Nice point, but I didn't even mentioned what would I do with my system though...... I wanted to do video editing, 32GB sticks are for "kinda" future proof. At least for 2~3 years from now. Since AM4 will use DDR4 for its life time. Actually they are the cheapest B-die kit in my region, but not the cheapest 16GB (2 x 8GB) kit out there, but the kit is USD $2~$10 more expensive from cheapest equivalent 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200, so I got it. Edit: "F4-3600C16D-16GVKC" aren't B-die haha but good recommendation! But they are much more expensive then my current Vipers USD $10 difference. (I can return the Vipers and get Ripjaws but it isn't good shopping manners) Nice point, but who cares about RAM ranks when extreme overclocking aren't involved XD 1DPC mobo is not available in my region, at least for my budget range, they are crazily expensive boards in my region Thanks for all of the informations given.

So just dial in the numbers and wait for the memory test? And only increase the voltage when needed? I think I get it now

Good point there, noted. Buildziod said that running memory test only stress the memory but not the FCLK so should I run another test when I am in Windows?

3600MHz and staying with the CL16 is a sweet spot? So...? Only increase it when I face instability issue or can I just push higher voltage just because I am lazy??

A newbie here without any RAM overclocking experience. There are informations out there saying that tighter timings and higher frequency gives better performance for the RAM. But I am wondering should I overclock my RAM to higher frequency or tighter timings? Extra question: Can I tighten RAM timings without changing the frequency? Will increasing voltage do the job? System: Ryzen 3700X Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus Patriot Viper 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 16-18-18-36 <- converted to USD will be $84.11 sadly it's the cheapest 16GB 3200 kit in my country [OLOy 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 16-18-18-38] <- this is the RAM I originally spotted on and I want it XD USD $100 is a deal for me

I am trying to get myself a new pc which has 2070 super in it. Finding a new monitor is hard and I found one here: http://www.sceptre.com/overview-535.html#features The review of this monitor is good but it use TN panel, is the colour accuracy good? Can someone recommend monitors with good refresh rate (120Hz+) and good colour accuracy (maybe >80% will do)?

Dlink DIR-850L

Will new, powerful wifi solve the problem? Like with more antennas or stronger cpu?

Hmm... For daily usage, about 10 devices including printers. For this comming CNY I will have about 30 devices in my home

When my house have a lot of devices connecting to the wireless router, the speed gets a huge hit and went from about 250Mbps to 20Mbps. Will setting up two router help me? I have searched for some solutions on Google but they doesn't seems reliable. Can anyone here guide me?

Then I will keep it. Since I dont know how the recovery works I will keep one copy only XDDDD
